Re: [Gimp-web] [Gimp-developer] Gitlab as a replacement for registry.gimp.org

Just a quick note for everyone (that either didn't attend LGM or didn't
hear the results of the conversation I had with Joao and Jehan)...

After some back and forth we are currently considering managing our own
infrastructure to host plugins/scripts.

We had a chance to speak (loudly in my case) at LGM and I will ping the
list again when we have fleshed out some ideas a little further and start
soliciting some feedback/ideas.
